    The Trump administration introduced new flight restrictions from Mexico on Saturday and suggested terminating a long-standing alliance between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico. This action was in response to the constraints the Mexican government placed on passenger and cargo flights into Mexico City years earlier.

    Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that Mexico’s actions, which compelled airlines to relocate from the main Benito Juarez International Airport to the newer Felipe Angeles International Airport, located over 30 miles (48.28 kilometers) away, breached a trade agreement between the two nations and unfairly benefited domestic airlines. Last year, more than 40 million passengers traveled to Mexico, making it the top foreign destination for Americans.

    “Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg intentionally allowed Mexico to violate our bilateral aviation agreement,” Duffy remarked, pointing to the former president and his transportation secretary. “This stops today. Let these measures act as a deterrent to any nation that believes it can exploit the U.S., our carriers, and our market. America First means upholding the fundamental principle of fairness.”

    All Mexican passenger, cargo and charter airlines will now be required to submit their schedules to the Transportation Department and seek government approval of their flights until Duffy is satisfied with the way Mexico is treating U.S. airlines.

    It’s not immediately clear how Duffy’s actions might affect the broader trade war with Mexico and negotiations over tariffs. A spokesperson for Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum didn’t reply immediately to a request for comment. Sheinbaum didn’t mention the new restrictions during either of her two speaking events on Saturday.

    Delta and Aeromexico have been fighting the Transportation Department’s efforts to end their partnership that began in 2016 since early last year. The airlines have argued that it’s not fair to punish them for the Mexican government’s actions, and they said ending their agreement would jeopardize nearly two dozen routes and $800 million in benefits to both countries’ economies that come from tourism spending and jobs.

    “The U.S. Department of Transportation’s tentative proposal to terminate its approval of the strategic and pro-competitive partnership between Delta and Aeromexico would cause significant harm to consumers traveling between the U.S. and Mexico, as well as U.S. jobs, communities, and transborder competition,” Delta said in a statement.

    Aeromexico’s press office said it was reviewing the order and intended to present a joint response with Delta in the coming days.

    But the order terminating approval of the agreement between the airlines wouldn’t take effect until October, and the airlines are likely to continue fighting that decision.

    The airlines said in a previous filing fighting the order that it believes the loss of direct flights would prompt over 140,000 American tourists and nearly 90,000 Mexican tourists not to visit the other country and hurt the economies of both countries with the loss of their spending.
